Tnor glorious scenc ! my w ond’ring eye Hath gazed on thee at last, And by the proud reality Found Fancy’s dreams surpass’d. ’Tw as like the vision which of old To the saint seer was given. When the sky open’d, and behold ! A throne was set in heaven. For there the everlasting Alps I'o the deep azure soar’d. And the sun on their snowy scalps A flood of glory pour’d. A present Deity, that sun Above them seem’d to blaze, Too strong and brijjht to gaze upon, Too glorious not to gaze. Below, the bright lake far and wide, Spread like a crystkl sea. Whose deep calm waters seem to glide, Eternity, to thee. Long, long, thou glorious scene, shalt thou Within my memory dwell, More vivid and heart gladd’ning now Than w hen I mark’d thee well. More vivid and heart-gladd’ningtoo, Than the wild dreams 1 nurs’d Of thee and thine, ere on my view, Thy world of wonders burst. For Fancy’s picture w as a gleam, Weak, faint, and shadowy, And brief and passing as a dream The gaze I bent on thee. But now thou art a thing enshrin’d Within my Inmost heart; A part and portion of my mind, Whijh cannot thence depart. Deep woes may whelm—long years may roll Their course o’er me in vain. But fix’d for ever in my soul Thy image shall remain. H. N. ar.irfrtw. Mixing together profit and delight. From the Correspondent of the Petersburg In telligcncer, August 21, 1826. LAKE GEORGE.

The latest generations will reverence their patriotism—will recite their heroic deeds against savage cruelty, and thank the Ciod of Battles for their happy triumph. when we boast of our great Uevolution-j ary characters, we boast of them, not so much as Americans, but as citizen.'? of the Commonwealth to which we be long.'
